What is the Microsoft Entra Suite?
The Microsoft Entra Suite is a unified solution designed to bridge the gap between identity and network access. It aims to replace fragmented, on-premises security tools with a cloud-based, identity-centric approach, enhancing security, reducing risk, and improving performance for a hybrid workforce.
How has Microsoft improved network performance?
Microsoft has implemented the Entra Suite to replace legacy VPNs and optimize traffic routing. By connecting employees automatically to the nearest Microsoft 365 and Azure locations, they have reduced latency by up to 80%, significantly improving performance and user experience.
What are the benefits of Zero Trust access?
Adopting a Zero Trust access model allows organizations to continuously evaluate risk and control access end-to-end. This approach minimizes the attack surface, enhances security through real-time risk assessments, and simplifies administration, ultimately improving user productivity and experience.
